Mug Your Neighbor
Want to spice it up a little bit?
Bring in a new, wrapped mug before Friday, 1/22 (Let's see the unique ones you can find!) and deliver it to Kimberly or Suzanne. When you arrive on that morning, you'll get a number that matches one of the wrapped up packages, which will be a brand new mug to use at our hot chocolate/coffee bar. Don't like these warm beverages? It's okay! Come fill it up with some juice!

Staff Sparklight - Julie Powers
Here's a little more about Julie:
What did you want to be when you grew up?
When I was little I wanted to be a teacher and a mom - I always played house and school with my dolls.
What are you proud of?
I am most proud of the family that Trent and I have together. My daughters are my "Spark." I love watching them play their sports and just having fun with them at home.
What do you like to do?
I love to take pictures and make scrapbooks with them.
What is your favorite Kellison memory?
I have a lot of wonderful memories at Kellison - I love seeing the excitement on a child's face when they have figured something out for the first time.
